Chapter 390: Taking over Youzhou
I thought that the enemy was using a stratagem to deceive him, but I thought that the other party was really still there a soldier and a horse, and I listened to the report from the scout one after another, and found that the people who came were all elite soldiers, and there were many people who could not be judged specifically.
It is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 people
Yelubao was too calm to say a word.
At this time, another scout came over and said, "Chief, there is a change in Youzhou City, Luo Yi and all the guards in the city are rushing towards our camp. ”
"Chief, the last general will ask for battle, and fight them to the end." General Conan said at this time.
Yelufeng, who came back from injury, had an expression of bent on fighting.
"Retreat, Youzhou City will come back, and when the time comes, it will inevitably capture the city and occupy the rich and fertile land!" Jerebautai said.
When the generals around him heard this, they knew that the leader's words could not be disobeyed, and they all ordered their tribes to prepare to retreat.
And they don't know what the use of occupying the land is, anyway, it's not unusual that they have come to Youzhou City many times, even if the collection of troops has no effect on them.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Barbarians retreated, and the speed was very fast, they were originally a tribe on horseback, and they had already left without waiting for the people on both sides to rush over.
After Li De saw the retreat, he waited for a while before ordering the vanguard to pursue, and also said that the pursuit was twenty miles, and the spoils of war collected would be taken by themselves.
There will be brave men under the great reward.
Surprisingly, Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou's soldiers and horses behaved extremely positively, and it seemed that their combat effectiveness had increased a lot, and the speed of pursuit was even faster than that of the flying cavalry and the leopard cavalry.
It really made him incomprehensible.
"Finally retreated, and took the back road back to Youzhou City."
Just when everyone was busy pursuing, Li De led people back to Youzhou City.
The vanguard had an order to only allow the pursuit of twenty miles, and Li Shimin, who had just arrived, knew that everything had been calculated by Li De.
The most odious thing is that Li De didn't even want to make war exploits, and those who rushed to help in the future were all calculated.
The enemy retreated, and if he wanted to achieve military success, he had to pursue it bravely, at any cost, or there would be nothing, and the spoils that were said to be divided would be for them to fight by themselves.
If you want to sit back and wait for merit and wealth, you will end up with nothing.
Li De can be regarded as shameless to the extreme, but they are all purposeful, and it is not good to argue about this matter, the enemy retreats from the battlefield, and the situation changes smoothly, and there is no fault at all.
If the enemy retreats in embarrassment, if you don't chase it, and failing to obtain combat merits can only indicate that your strength is not good, and you will definitely not be able to rely on the vanguard to drag it on, and you don't see that the vanguard is working hard for the military merits.
Yelu Baotai didn't know Li De's calculations, he knew now that the three thousand soldiers and horses behind the palace were probably more than lucky, and this time they were trading at a loss.
"Eldest sister, aren't we going to pursue, how can we go back." Pei Yuantong followed behind Pei Qingxuan and wondered.
"Your brother-in-law's plan has succeeded, what are you doing now, going to eat ashes?" Pei Qingxuan explained indifferently.
"Ah, what's the matter, I still want to fight?" Pei Yuantong continued to ask.
Pei Qingxuan shook his head, the Pei family brothers just don't like to move their heads, what are they chasing with five hundred heavy horses, they run slower than others, they just arrived at the people and packed up their things and came back, there is no need to run over in vain.
Achieving the goal shows that it is their credit, successfully solving the trapped matter of Youzhou City, and then there are more important things to do, and she can't look down on the enemy's three melons and two dates.
"Let's go, go back to Youzhou City." Pei Qingxuan made a decision without hesitation.
The gates of Youzhou City were opened, and there was no threat from the Northern Barbarians, and everything returned to normal.
The vanguard entered the city, the streets were depressed, the shops were closed, and no one could be seen.
"Governor, they have all been checked, ten rooms and nine empty." Elevation said.
"Governor, less than half of the merchants in the city are left, and they haven't had time to escape, and they are sending people to contact them." Wei Li came over and reported.
"Try to find out the businessmen as much as possible, tell them that Youzhou City is in ruins, there are a lot of opportunities to make money, and let them come over if they are willing to do business in three days." Li De commanded.
"Yes."
After Wei Li finished speaking, he left again, he had to seize the time to understand the situation in Youzhou City, and Gao Cheng also went to arrange the garrison of the vanguards.
Originally, they were going to choose a place to be stationed outside Youzhou City, but now Youzhou City has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and it is only natural that they will all enter the city to garrison.
Anti-guest-oriented, Youzhou City has really become a vanguard to take care of.
The soldiers on the city wall all changed their guards, and there were not many people left when Luo Yi took people out, and dozens of people were not enough to do anything in the face of the vanguards.
Luo Yi was chasing after him with people, how could he have thought that a huge city would become someone else's decision.
Pei Qingxuan returned to Youzhou City, and was also surprised to see the situation in the city, after the city gate was opened, many people in Youzhou City fled again, and Li De did not ask anyone to stay.
People's hearts are scattered, what is the use of leaving them, breaking and then standing is a wise saying.
"Brother-in-law, our brother is here to join you, and my father has entrusted my brother-in-law to take care of us." Pei Yuantong saw Li De and immediately came over and said.
Just as he was about to get close, he was stopped by the female guard next to Li De.
Pei Yuantong was very excited, if he was replaced by a male guard, he would have been full of old fists, but when he saw a female guard, of course he couldn't do it.
He still knows that he is pitiful, but in fact, he can see that the female guards are not good at stubble, and they may not be able to take advantage of it.
Masters and masters can judge strength by their eyes, breath and reaction speed.
Pei Yuantong's martial arts are not too clear, but also average, so he can naturally see it.
"Okay, how is my father-in-law doing?" Li De asked.
"Okay, very." Pei Yuantong continued.
Pei Yuanqing didn't talk much, and he still treated Li De as before, and he didn't treat him very well.
After chatting for a while, Pei Qingxuan arranged the heavy cavalry and the tiger guard's personal guard together to protect Li Decai.
"Husband, the situation in Youzhou City is very unfavorable for us to train government soldiers, what are we going to do next." Pei Qingxuan asked.
"Don't worry, wait for the reinforcements to come back and make plans, who said that there is no one, they are not." Li De said with a smile.
In half a day, He Bida, Shi Huaiyi and others all came back after chasing for twenty miles, and it could be seen that they had gained a lot, and the soldiers were all overjoyed, and they should have made a small fortune.
"Buy the loot and exchange the items for silver money, Wei Xun, you go and arrange it, don't reluctantly ask for voluntariness, if you let me know that there is a compulsion, I won't revoke your title." Li De explained.
"Don't worry, the soldiers are smart, how can the loot be easy to carry." Shi Huaiyi replied.
"You can watch these things happen."
After Li De arranged some things, the vanguard officially took over Youzhou City.
